So, I posted a few days ago about a meme xanyboi had started in which you basically describe yourself with a mix CD. I'd been working on this one on and off (mostly off) for a couple of days, and I think I've come up with a reasonable first pass. It's far from perfect, but it'll do for now I think. I don't have most of this stuff available for download, but if you want to hear it I can put some or all of it on CD.

A lot of the things I put on here seem to contradict each other when you listen to the lyrics; I'd say that's just about what one should expect from me. =) If you're curious as to why something got picked, you can ask in comments and I'll try to explain if I can.

• The Magnetic Fields - "I Wish I Had an Evil Twin"
  
• Matchbox 20 - "Unwell"
  
• Roseanne Cash - "The Summer I Read Colette"

Can't really comment, other than bemusement at the titles... I've only ever heard three of the songs (and only recognize six of the artists, and you introduced me to half of those ;).

Similar reaction: recognize three of the artists, and of those I think I've onnly heard one of the songs.

Which says to me that geekchick is mysterious, unknown territory that needs exploring! ;-)

Pfft, yeah, "mysterious". That's me all over. =)

[winterbadger]

Well, enticing, charming, and brainy, too, but those weren't suggested immediately by that list, only because I don't know the songs on it. :-)

[geekchick]

Well, if you want copies I can give you a CD when you're out next.

Thanks! I like exploring. :) Maybe next week?

Maybe next week?

Sure, I'll remember to bring it to dinner if you remind me. =)
